Step model "skinning" export in 17.4?

RFinley

I found a mention in the 3D notes but wondering if the feature has been released for 17.4 sp6...

Anyone find it?

  • Goal: create a single SW part from an Allegro Step assembly that won't get broken down into a couple hundred individual *.SLDPRT files having filenames the Mechanical engineers aren't familiar with.

    Import the Step model into Solidworks.  File> Save As>  set the filter to Part (*.prt, *.sldpart), click the radio button "Exterior Faces".

    Interesting is it keeps the color detail of the part step models but it is now a single object that should be faster for the mechanical engineers to use, so they won't complain as much.   O_o
